I went from the amazement of hearing someone put into words what I've felt my whole life, and even today - my struggle with the feeling of 'not being enough and smart at the same time' - to tears of joy, anger, and so much emotion because I feel hope... and here I am, trying not to give up.
I'm 64 years old and struggled my whole life with dyslexia. I spent my young life "gaming the system" This series means so much to me. How can I get more involved? I went trough a lot of Psych. testing as a young child, and have paper documents from that time. I may be an interesting case study for someone :) It's caused difficulties in my life because I've tried to explain to people that I had to teach my self not to cheat and lie to hide my "Strange literacy".
What job did/do you do? I'm 60 and dyslexic. I don't cheat or lie, I just work out ways round non-dyslexic problems in the best way that I can find. :)
Soft skills are definitely valuable but without the basics, apart from the very highest I.Q. students, the E.Q. skills will not be valuable. Teach to dyslexic needs from day 1 (4 year olds). Screen for dyslexia at age 7 in all schools. Prevent the over representation of addiction issues, school exclusions and over representation of convicts with dyslexia. The cost -benefit would be huge. From a dyslexic senior Uni lecturer in 'inclusion', U.K.
Thank you, Kate, for the excellent episode with an interesting interlocutor. I don’t understand English, so I watch with subtitles in my language, and I write a comment through a translator. But this does not prevent me from feeling the positive energy and the message that Stephanie conveys. Not giving up is a good and correct call, Stephanie, I promise you, I will not give up. When I was diagnosed with dyslexia with ADHD at the age of 48, it became clear why I write with mistakes, why I don’t see words, why despite all the efforts and efforts, I still could not learn a single foreign language during my life, etc. This made me very angry. I pushed aside standard learning methods and decided to learn English by developing my own methodology. Now it is my mission to find a method of studying a foreign language for adults with difficulties in learning a foreign language due to dyslexia and ADHD. If everything works out for me, I plan to organize help for people with the same difficulties. I post video reports on my TH-cam channel, documenting the entire path from the very beginning. I consider this fair, as English-speaking people will be able to track progress through these video reports. So far, everything is going very hard, I feel like a fish trying to climb a tree. But I won’t give up, I promise)
Thank you! I am a fellow dyslexic thinker and appreciate everything that Made by Dyslexia has done. In addition, my wife Pam and I have a private practice teaching dyslexic students.
I’m dyslexic myself I only found out when was in let 30s its hard. I used to wonder why is this happening how is this happening to me on the day I was diagnosed with dyslexia I come to understand. It’s not easy
I had a very supportive private school education and a parent who was embarrassed her child had a problem. I was lucky I am no good at sports was on the team, can't carry a tune had to attend Choir and thought like most teens I should loose weight and had grandparents who gave me unconditional love. I have been a loving marriage for 45 years. Five years ago, I started to teach my partner about being dyslexic - very difficult. Please can we find a word with less letters- I want to be just an XIC = a cross a straight a circle.

@@michellebarbour5777 I am an industrial designer. I meant when I was in grade school. As you can see it was a problem Stephanie struggled with too.
Omg, i feel that guilt about passing on and having Dyslexia to some of my children. It just kill's me.

I cried while watch you cry! Thank you so much! I finally found someone like me .
There are moments that a message hits home. Hearing this story is to me like a coaching session. It resonates at every level. Thank you for sharing.
